To be sure, to be sure.

And the man in blue, sitting in centre frame at the centre of the bridge?

Well, though he is hatless, I doubt he's the eponym of the story. Is tht you, Phil?

No, it's not me. Times are hard, but not THAT hard.

And although he is not THE Beggar on O'Connell Bridge, he is A beggar on O'Connell Bridge.

I just got back from a fleeting visit to Dublin, and this is one of my feeble attempts to photograph landmarks from "Bradbury's Dublin".

I was disappointed to find that the real beggars of Dublin don't play concertinas or hurdy-gurdies. Neither do they thrust babies in your face and cry "Cancer!" They mostly just sit there with paper cup in hand.

Further to the above...

It's a bit rough-looking as I threw it together in a hurry, but I have just blogged more pictures from Dublin on my web page. Address below - please visit!

Begorra!

lol...Hogzilla meets Bo Peep...in the first silent porno movie...definitely not Bradburian but without a doubt Harold LLoyd, Buster Keaton, and Chaplin would be proud.
